We plunge into the darkness

of old Shirley House,

inn for poor mariners.

Nobody’s alive. Shipwrecks.

The antique lamps you bought

are lit with care.

We hug for heat.

Let sleep devour us.

I forgot to put the fire out in the fireplace.

I burnt myself as a child in the old kitchen

of the Summer house in Quequén.

My grandfather built it with his hands.

Scars.

XII.

After the removal vans have gone

a glacial moon bathes our small library.

We house it in closet rooms.

Books I brought from Argentina,

memento mori.
